Dark Angels by Karleen Koen
The long-awaited prequel to Koen's beloved Through a Glass Darkly, Dark Angels is a feast of a novel that sparkles with all the passion, extravagance, danger, and scandal of seventeenth-century EnglandReturning to England after a nasty controversy forced her to flee to Louis XIV's France, Alice is eager to re-establish herself by resuming her old position as a maid of honor to Charles I's queen and marrying the Restoration's most famed duke.
But not all is as it appears in Charles I's raucous, cheerful court. Since the Restoration, old political alliances have strained, and there are murmurs that the king is considering divorcing his infertile queen, whom some would prefer to see dead.Alice, who is loyal only to a select few, is devoted to the queen, and so sets out to find who might be planning dark plans--and if her own father is one of them.
When a member of the royal family dies unexpectedly, the stakes are upped. As Alice intensifies her attempts to discover who is--and isn't--true to the queen, she hears of terrible betrayals throughout court, and encounters a man with whom she may fall in love--and who could derail all of her plans. Has King Charles betrayed his country for personal gain?
This is a story of love and politics, passion and betrayal, power and succession--and of a smart young woman who risks all for pride and position in an era when women were given little of either.
